Prefix your first line with `🥷` inline. Be direct: recommendation first, key trade-off next. No filler.
Resolve the mode from a leading subcommand (`explore`, `grill`, `raw`, `lock`, `refine`) or else from the request shape, then follow `docs/playbooks/brainstorm.md` (this stage's operating logic); read `docs/WORKFLOW.md` first IF routing is unclear. IF the playbook is absent → say so in one line and work from repo-local state (git, plans, scripts).
Argument: `[subcommand] [idea, @file refs, plan path, or trade-off question]`; the rest is passed as-is.
Defer to: `to-plan` after an approved lock; `check` for quality gates after implementation.
